Application for All State Scholarships/Grants

The State Scholarship Application, GSFAPPS, should be completed by students who want to be considered for the HOPE Scholarship, the Zell Miller Scholarship, the HOPE Grant, or who receive a HOPE GED Voucher. Apply online at GAfutures.org. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can also be used as an application for these State Scholarships/Grants.

The State Scholarship Programs pay for tuition only.

Adjustments will be made after the Drop/Add period has ended.

Students may gain or regain HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship for various reasons during their college enrollment. If you think you qualify for the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship based on your high school grade point average, a grade change made to a college course after grades posted for the term, you have reached a 30, 60 or 90 attempted hours HOPE checkpoint, or other reasons, please contact the financial aid office for an account review.

Students who graduated from an ineligible high school, or completed a home study program, or earned a General Education Development (GED ) diploma from the TCSG may be eligible for retroactive HOPE for their first 30 attempted hours if they have a 3.0 HOPE GPA after those first 30 hours.
